She is a candle,
\nWhich shines so bright.
\nSo brightly she shines,
\nEven in the dark, cold and windy night.<\/p>\n
She is the messiah of love,
\nAs pure and beautiful as a dove.
\nShe stretches her hands,
\nAnd welcomes all,
\nHer love knows no bounds.<\/p>\n
She is a mother, father, teacher and God,
\nAnd all look up to her and chant, “O, Lord.”
\nShe tells us to gain mastery over the mind,
\nAnd to chant mantra to purify the mind.<\/p>\n
O God,
\nBless us to serve and follow this mother,
\nAs she leads us along the path as the light.<\/p>\n
